TV show description:
This psychological thriller TV series is based on the horror feature film from 1973 which itself was based on the 1971 novel by William Peter Blatty. The story follows two very different priests as they tackle one family’s case of a horrifying demonic possession.
Father Tomas Ortega (Alfonso Herrera) is the new face of the Catholic Church. He’s progressive, ambitious and compassionate. Father Tomas runs a small, but loyal, parish in the suburbs of Chicago and he has no idea that his quiet life is about to change forever.
Father Marcus Keane (Ben Daniels) is a modern-day Templar Knight. He’s an orphan who was raised by the Vatican to wage war against its enemies. He is everything Father Tomas is not — he’s relentless, abrasive and utterly consumed by his mission. Father Marcus constantly butts heads with his adversary within the church, Father Bennett (Kurt Egyiawan).
Caught in the middle of these two very different priests is the Rance family, members of Tomas’ parish. On the surface, they’re a normal, American family, but all is not as it seems in this household.
Henry Rance (Alan Ruck) is the patriarch and is recovering from a traumatic injury. Eldest daughter Katherine (Brianne Howey), formerly a ballet dancer, has become a recluse who refuses to leave her room. Her younger sister, Casey (Hannah Kasulka), thinks she’s hearing strange noises coming from inside the walls.
Their girls’ mother, Angela (Geena Davis), believes there is something in the house — a demonic presence, growing stronger by the day. Desperate for help, she begs Father Tomas. Unwittingly, she sets the naïve young priest on a collision course with Father Marcus.
Separately, Tomas and Marcus face an insurmountable task. Together they become the Rances’ only hope against an evil force that has been mobilizing for centuries.

What do you think? Do you like The Exorcist TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
This was an awesome, interesting show! Watched every episode of both seasons. Bring it back and cancel some of those stupid, boring reality shows instead!!!!
Loved the show, please bring it back. So much better than shows like the bachelor, which I think is fake, duck men, and other reality tv shows.
loved this show. Saw every episode. Was looking forward to another season. So much better than the reality tv shows that I believe are fixed. Bring back the show or have another station pick it up. Reality tv is boring, I have reality everyday.
I can’t believe you cancelled this show!! It was one of the best shows on regular tv!! Maybe you should consider cancelling some of the reality tv programs instead! Television has become nothing more than reality tv. There are many of us who prefer regular television shows!
Maybe all off the reality tv shows should be on their own RTV stations, and regular channels should return to normal programs like sitcoms, mysteries and the like!
This was awesome! So many terrible shows on and this great show gets canceled?
It was amazing! Bring it back!!!
Need to see where it goes!!! To much unanswered!
Loved this show so bummed it’s canceled
I don’t understand why this show was cancelled. Bring it back please!

I loved this series! Ben Daniels performance in the series as Father Marcus was nothing short of spectacular. I will really miss it. Shannara Chronicles was also cancelled so I’m really bummed. I hope another network or streaming service will pick both series up for new seasons

I really don’t understand how such an awesome show, with high reviews, gets cancelled?!? This was my favorite show on tv!! PLEASE bring it back!!!!
